Bischoff informs that Dusty Rhodes was his own man, and he wasn’t always easy to get along with. He doesn’t know Cody very well, but it’s a bold statement for a young man his age to walk away from the largest promotion in the world in order to chance his dreams. In that sense, Cody really reminds Bischoff of Dusty.
Ross talks about the tragic passing of Owen Hart on the anniversary of his death. He informs that Owen’s death still haunts him to this day because he was such a wonderful soul. Ross remembers being told in his headset that night that Owen had died, and he only had 10 seconds to process the death of one of the nicest people he ever met before having to go live on air. He says he was lucky he got anything out at all at that moment. He says Owen had a great sense of humour and a big heart.
Ross wishes a happy birthday to Natalya who turns 36 years old this week. He thinks Natalya should have a job in WWE forever because she has a lot of skill sets and is a valuable member of the team.
Ross informs that due to the generosity of the McMahon family he was given stock options with WWE many years ago. He got the stocks at $22 and he kept a lot of it. He’s happy with the current surge in stock prices but admits that he doesn’t really know what to do with his stocks right now.
That sums up this week’s episode of The Jim Ross Report. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
